Abstract

The potential engineering and economical feasibility of low temperature geothermal energy applications on the campus of the University of New Mexico are being studied. The program has three principal parts: data gathering and analysis, system synthesis and selection, and system refinement and implementation planning. The first two parts are essentially complete; the third is in progress.
